How to place two forms on the same page?

by

You could make two forms with 2 different actions

<form action="login.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="user">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>

<br />

<form action="register.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="user">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="submit" value="Register">
</form>

Or do this

<form action="doStuff.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="user">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="login">
    <input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>

<br />

<form action="doStuff.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="user">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="register">
    <input type="submit" value="Register">
</form>

Then you PHP file would work as a switch($_POST[‘action’]) … furthermore, they can’t click on both links at the same time or make a simultaneous request, each submit is a separate request.

Your PHP would then go on with the switch logic or have different php files doing a login procedure then a registration procedure
